With a few taps on the keyboard, uncover a treasure trove of photos, think pieces, and listicles focused on the Canadian prime minister’s rear end.

Get lost in the half-million stories ranging from the straightforward "Internet Freaking Out Over Justin Trudeau's Butt" from Cosmopolitan to the silly "And the Oscar goes to Justin Trudeau's butt" from the Daily Mail.

But the Canadian progressive is more than a pretty face — or tush. He’s in Providence for the National Governors Association summer meeting — along with other officials from Canada, Mexico, India, China and Japan — marking a new interest in forging connections with state leaders.

Trudeau entered politics in 2008, after working as a teacher for several years. But it is in his blood. When he was a baby, Trudeau lived in the prime minister’s residence in Ottawa, while his father, Pierre Trudeau, ran the country.

And in a moment of incredible foresight, or perhaps a bit of luck, in the 1970s President Richard Nixon proposed "a toast to the future prime minister of Canada: To Justin Pierre Trudeau," the BBC reports.

His meteoric rise — from a schoolteacher, to a representative, to the leader of the Liberal Party in 2013 and then the prime minister in 2015 — has fascinated political junkies around the globe, said June Speakman, the chair of the department of politics and international relations at Roger Williams University.

"Brains and good looks are a good political combination," Speakman said. "He’s the kind of leader who is charismatic, an excellent public speaker and intellectually energetic."

He’s got the star power of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Elizabeth Warren or Cory Booker, she said, with the legacy of a Kennedy.

Walking around downtown Providence on Thursday, people had mixed reactions to Trudeau. Some, like Anna Lawrie, who was visiting from the United Kingdom said, "He seems nice." But what she really loves is his politics.

"He’s got good women's-rights policies," Lawrie said.

And Olia Yelner, from Connecticut, said she was happy he’d come talk to state leaders in a way she feels President Donald Trump has not.

"He's like super progressive. He's young. He's like the opposite of our president in every single way."

A few magical political moments have defined Trudeau's tenure. One: when he greeted Syrian children at the airport with winter coats and said, "You’re safe at home now."

"That just makes you choke up," said Speakman. "I get goosebumps. Especially in contrast to President Trump’s approach to refugees."

She added: "For progressive Americans that is like, ‘Wow — why can’t our president have that kind of a humanitarian approach?'"

Another defining moment was Trudeau's blunt response to a reporter who asked why he prioritized a "feminist" cabinet — which included 15 men and 15 women.

"Because it’s 2015," he said. The crowd around him cheered, but he just shrugged.

Trudeau will meet with Vice President Mike Pence privately in Providence, according to reports. Speakman imagines they’ll talk about climate and immigration policy.

"He might express his disappointment in the U.S. pulling out of the climate accord," Speakman said. "Canadians are more like Americans than any other population in the world. It would make sense to say to Mike Pence — my people are supportive of this, your people are supportive of this. Let’s protect our shared space on this continent."

Plus, he’s got that "hipness factor." The je ne sais quoi or "X-factor" that has puzzled political scientists for decades, said Speakman.

"He’s got a tattoo, he wears cool socks, he dances in public," she said. "That is appealing to people."
